[blparent] [Bulk] bathing an infant

[Veronica Smith]

A better idea is a towel for baby and a fleece robe for you. V

Two towels, one for you, one for her. You can't get totally dry this
way, but it does take the chill off a bit.

I've enjoyed baths with Sarah.  The part I don't like is when you both
get out soaking wet, and you have to delay drying off and getting
dressed till the baby is dry, and then you're freezing.  But it is a
nice relaxing time in the tub.

The other thing I bought to help my back is from Safety First.  It's a
tubside kneeler that also can be used for a step stool.  It has a stiff
foam platform to kneel on, and an elbow rest for the side of the tub,
and it's a lot better than kneeling on the hard floor and having to lean
way over.  It especially helps short people like me.  I got it at Babies
R Us, but it can probably be found at Target.
